General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / forced air anyone?
« on: December 15, 2013, 11:41:57 PM »
Hello!,
My name is William Loftin, I am about to build my first home. I have worked as a carpenter for about 10 years and I have the basic construction part down pretty well. The land I bought is out in the country in east Texas with a lot of wood on the land. I have been looking at building my own forced air outdoor wood heater. I have seen a few pics online for relatively small setups but nothing that would work for an aprox 1200 sq ft home. I see a lot of posts on here for water based boiler systems, but to be quite honest I don’t think I have the plumbing skills to pull off a water based system and also the cost of the radiators in the house seems to be quite a lot. I can weld pretty well and am fairly good with wiring and ductwork, so I think if I had some good plans I would be able to make a functional forced air system.
Problem is I have found a lot of free plans for water systems but only factory built furnaces for forced air. Since finding this forum I was hoping some of you may have looked into a forced air system or could point me in the right direction. Really appreciate any help yall can provide. I am doing a pier and beam single story so ductwork will be under the house.
Thanks
William Loftin
